Frequently Asked Questions
What is a MIDI cable used for?
A MIDI cable transmits digital data between compatible musical devices such as keyboards, synths and audio interfaces. It doesn't carry audio signals but rather performance data like notes and controller commands.
What is the standard MIDI cable connection?
The most common MIDI cable uses a 5-pin DIN connector at both ends. This is the standard interface for most MIDI equipment and is fully supported by Citronic cables.
Are all MIDI cables the same?
No. While many share the 5-pin DIN layout, cable quality, shielding and build integrity can vary. Citronic cables are shielded to reduce interference and ensure signal accuracy.
Do I need a special cable for MIDI over USB?
Yes. MIDI over USB uses a different connection type. The cables in this category are traditional 5-pin DIN to DIN MIDI leads. For USB-MIDI, use dedicated USB-MIDI interface cables.
Can MIDI cables be used for audio?
No. MIDI cables carry digital control data, not audio signals. For transmitting audio, use appropriate audio interconnects like XLR or jack cables.
How long can a MIDI cable be?
MIDI cables can typically be up to 15 metres long without issues. Our range includes up to 6.0m lengths for reliable performance in most settings.
Is shielding important in MIDI cables?
Yes. Shielding helps prevent electromagnetic interference, which can cause data errors or missed MIDI signals.
